Driving in Amalfi Coast with alternating license plates: all the rules

The tourist district of the Amalfi Coast has synthesized in Anglo-Saxon language all the rules relative to the Anas ordinance on the plan of alternating license plate in Amalfi Coast and Sorrento Coast.

Since 2019, to better manage the touristic flow during the busy season, Amalfi Coast governors have devised a plan of alternating license plate system on the Amalfi Coast Drive (SS 163 from Positano to Vietri Sul Mare).

Amalfi Coast

The plane becomes effective on the Easter Week. These rules apply to cars belonging to people non-resident on the Amalfi Coast.

Cars serving disabled people having the H card and with on board the holder of it, cars belonging to locals, taxis and buses are exempt.

Cars with a license plate ending in a odd number cannot drive Amalfi Coast Drive on odd numbered days.

Cars with a license plate ending in a even number cannot drive Amalfi Drive on even numbered days.

The rule take effects

  • from 10 am to 6 pm on the Easter Week
  • on the weekends (Saturdays and Sundays)
  • from 15th June to 30th September, and on the entire month of August.

It will also be effective on some holidays, long weekends are also included (from April 24th to May 2th).

In addition to the license plate system, any vehicle that is longer than 10,36 metres (34 foot), including vehicles pulling trailers, are banned from 6.30 am to midnight, all year long.

If you are a guest of an official accomodation of the Amalfi Coast, you are allowed to get to your accomodation on the planned day and drive back on the planned departure day, even if your license plate does not align with mandatory dates, by showing your reservation.

You won’t know the number of your license plate until you pick up your rental car, so it’s impossible to plan in advance which days to drive in Amalfi Coast.

Sorrento Coast

Traffic regulation from April to September 2023

From April 8th 2023 on the Sorrento Coast Drive (Sorrento, Piano di Sorrento, Sant’Agnello, Meta, Vico Equense), to better manage the touristic flow during the busy season, Sorrento Coast governors have devised a plane of alternating license plate system.

These rules apply to cars belonging to people non-resident on the Sorrento Coast.

Cars serving disabled people having the H card and with on board the holder of it, cars belonging to locals, taxis and buses are except.

Cars with a license plate ending in an odd number cannot drive Sorrento Coast Drive on odd numbered days.

Cars with a license plate ending in a even number cannot drive Sorrento Coast Drive on even numbered days.

The rules take effects:

  • from 8 am to 7 pm, from April 8th to May 31st all Fridays, Saturdays and Sundays, on holidays (April 25th and May 1st), and on the day before the holidays (Apr 24th, Apr 30 th).
  • from June 1st to September 30th: everyday from 8 am to 7 pm.

If you are a guest of accomodation on the Amalfi Coast and, for example, your license plate ends in an odd number in an odd numbered day, you are not allowed to drive along the Sorrento Coast. Be careful!!

Please be smart: to travel Amalfi Coast or Sorrento Coast please use public transport (businesses or ferries).

We recommend confirming this rule with us or your accomodation before your visit.
